# apmec
This project aims at building an automated provisioning framework for Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) based on OpenStack platform.
![alt text](https://github.com/openstack/apmec/blob/master/doc/source/_extra/apmec.jpg)
Current features of APMEC are to:
- orchestrate the MEC services
- leverage MANO's API to allow the reuse of NF network services (currently use OpenStack Tacker - NFV Orchestration service) for MEC services
- support multi-MANO features that offer the scalability and improve resource utilization of MEC services.
- manage the life-cycle of MEC applications (creation, update, deletion)
- monitor MEC applications
- scale in/out MEC applications
On-going features:
- fast live migration in order to support mobility in MEC
- state management for the stateful MEC applications
- acceleration technologies like DPDK, VPP, FPGA,...
- container technologies like Docker/Kubernetes
